Talley LW's (graphic images warning) - 04/01/21
The last few sets have had a lengthwise relieved area where the base would contact the top of the receiver. This relief, while reducing the contact area close to 50%, does allow the sides of the base to better contact the curve of the receiver, rather than potentially 'rocking' on the top curve. For the bubble packers/tighten-the-chit-out-of-stuff crew, it's probably a better approach.
Tempting fate one more time (not ), these Talley LW's got bedded to the receiver, as per the usual prep routine. You can see the bedding material under the bases, resulting in a 100% contact area. The relieved area is also seen as a bit thicker bedding line.
Remarkably, the rings didn't self destruct, crumble or attack my fingers with the razor edges of the broken pieces. They did arrive direct from Talley in a bubble pack, so there is that burden to bear, I guess.
The final insult will be lapping and bedding. Easter seems like an appropriate time frame....
Good shootin'. -Al
